please note - reviews on this site are purely the opinion of site visitors, so don't take them too seriously.
No Moles beers except a light(er) version of Black Rat cider (brewery page suggests that would only be bottled?), other handpumps had Courage (why oh why?), Spitfire & Sharps Cornish Coaster, and the landlord suggested he hoped to increase the range soon. Indeed the whole pub seemed to be somewhat in transition with evidence of restructuring around a separate pool-table area, and room to front which had its own tv in addition to a plasma to left of bar. Diversions offered in form of games compendium (chess, backgammon etc). Nice leadlight windows at front, beer garden to rear. Not bad, but a work in progress…

A really nice cozy pub with friendly staff and some well kept ales on tap. During our visit we really enjoyed a guest ale from Cornwall, called Tribute. It was a recommendation by the woman behind the bar and it was easily one of the best ales I have ever had in England- superb! If you;re in Salisbury, it's a great place to hoist a few pints.

We liked this pub - good quality cheap beer, good selection. Juke Box was cheap and full of top tunes - pool was also cheap, although the little stick was a pain where the table was too big for the space. Had nice beam features and relaxed, friendly atmosphere. Pretty decent pub - will def. visit again.

We've also recently moved (almost 4 months) to Salisbury and have found the Anchor and Hope to be the best pub we've come across so far. Extremely friendly and welcoming bar staff and landlord (Bill), a decent-priced, decent pint of still cider, local Moles ales and quite often, Cornish ales from the St Austell Brewery (this is a definite bonus). The beer garden is great. Sometimes when the TV is going and the music is playing it can become a bit cacophanous and it's a shame there are now two large TVs in the bar area (presumably for the World Cup - does any pub exist where football is banned?!). We've also tried the pizza which is extremely good considering it comes from a pub kitchen!

Very friendly and laid back. Rare to find a half decent jukebox as well as Moles beer (when it's on) and any time is Pizza time ...

We've only lived in Salisbury a short while but this has been the friendliest and most easy going pub we've found. Cosy sofas inside, nicely decked area outside. Pizzas on demand , good jukebox and a reasonably priced pint (including good local ales).

The serve real scrumpy cider so beware! A few pints and the pavement seems slightly closer!

Spent a wonderful new year here last year when we had just moved into the area.
Free entry and free buffet - staff were lovely and everyone was very friendly.
I flashed my boobs at midnight and still didnt get thrown out!
Does look a little bit rough but dont let it put you off!
